Coaching Overview

Support for the parent behind the process

Coaching with Lydia Heimlich Maternal Wellness is designed to help you feel grounded, confident, and supported as you navigate the many changes that come with parenthood. This space is for parents and caregivers who want to reconnect with themselves, strengthen their emotional well-being, and create sustainable systems that honor both their needs and their family’s.

You don’t have to be in crisis to benefit from coaching. Many people seek coaching when they’re feeling stretched thin, unsure of their next step, or ready to feel more like themselves again. Together, we focus on practical tools, emotional awareness, and mindset shifts that help you move forward with clarity and compassion.

What Coaching Is

Coaching is a collaborative, forward-focused process that supports growth, insight, and balance. We explore where you are now, what you need, and how to move toward the life and identity you want to build.

This coaching is not just about knowing what to do—it’s about learning how to ask for what you need, especially when plans change.
Self-advocacy is at the heart of this work. Many new parents are used to caring for everyone else first, often without realizing how much they minimize their own needs in the process. Coaching helps you practice speaking up for yourself—clearly, confidently, and without guilt—so you can make decisions that align with your values and energy, even when life feels unpredictable.

Each coaching approach is informed by real experiences gathered through the Motherhood Needs Project, a community-based effort to understand what parents truly need in the postpartum and early parenting seasons. Your coaching experience is shaped by both professional expertise and the honest feedback of parents who’ve been there.

Who It’s For

Coaching is a good fit if you are:

  • Adjusting to life after birth or expanding your family

  • Balancing the demands of caregiving, work, and identity

  • Seeking more confidence, boundaries, or time for yourself

  • Preparing to return to work or redefine your routines

  • Craving accountability and structure that align with your goals

  • Ready to strengthen your ability to ask for what you need—and trust that it matters

If you’re ready to feel supported, organized, and empowered to advocate for your own needs, coaching offers a personalized path forward.
